12-44 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim quoted Muhammad ibn Isa ibn Ubayd, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Fuzayl al-Sayrafi, on the authority of Abi Hamzih al-Sumaly that Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) said, “
Indeed the Honorable the Exalted God appointed Muhammad to the genies and the men, and established twelve Trustees after him. Some of them have already come and some others shall come later. Each Trustee had some practices. The Trustees who come after Muhammad (MGB) are similar to those of Jesus (MGB). They are twelve and the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) acted like Jesus (MGB) did.”
12-44 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد، عن محمد بن فضيل الصيرفي، عن أبي حمزة الثمالي، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
إن الله عز وجل أرسل محمدا صلى الله عليه وآله إلى الجن والانس وجعل من بعده اثني عشر وصيا، منهم من سبق ومنهم من بقي، وكل وصي جرت به سنة. والاوصياء الذين من بعد محمد صلى الله عليه وآله على سنة أوصياء عيسى، وكانوا اثني عشر وكان أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام على سنة المسيح عليه السلام
